[expert] Re:[OT] Copernic equivalent for Linux?!? ... now we're talking search fundamentals!
Thank you - didn't know about this one. I will investigate those engines, in the hope for a Linux capable one. But talking about (re)search of Internet, and because you mentioned/quoted the paragraph below, then allow me to advise you to visit one very interesting site related to this subject: http://www.searchlores.org/ Click on the main icon/logo ... and welcome to Fravia's world ...

TIA, Stef Peruse the definitive list, site by site looking for a linux version. http://www.searchenginewatch.com/links/utilities.html or try the online equivalent. http://www.searchenginewatch.com/links/metacrawlers.html BTW http://www.searchenginewatch.com/ is a permanent bookmark of mine since i heard this quote somewhere. The internet is like a library. But a library where someone has ripped the covers off all the books and thrown them on the floor. You can either wade in yourself and pick up each book looking for what you want, or use a search engine that has already done this for you. Sorry, not verbatim, recalled from memory.

Side issue - when I first used the Internet you could ask a search engine for term_a AND (term_b OR term_c) Not term_d These days I can't find any way of excluding the thousands of refs that I know will come and be irrelevant.

I'll try it your way next time. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
